Port Alberni RCMP have released a surveillance photo of a suspect vehicle in a case of dangerous driving.
Police received a report of an erratic driver on River Road near Golden Street after the driver of a pickup truck went into the wrong lane and almost collided with two other vehicles about 8 a.m. on July 23.
“Split-second manoeuvres” by the drivers kept them from being struck head-on, police said.
Dashcam footage was obtained from a witness, but the speed of the pickup and glare from the sun partially obscured the licence plate.
Const. Jordan Fleurissaint called the incident “appalling,” saying: “This reckless and dangerous driving behaviour is inexcusable.”
Police are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the truck and driver.
The suspect vehicle is an older model grey Dodge 1500 with a matching canopy and a chrome grill, rims, running boards, and front and rear bumpers.
Anyone with information or dashcam footage is asked to call Port Alberni RCMP at 250-723-2424.
